The Travelling Post Office

Caption Time - March / April 2006

The Travelling Post Office like a good laugh, so we thought it would be a good idea to follow in the tradition of Nene Steam and have an area on the website that was just for fun. An area where we could show some of the more humorous aspects of our operation. So, if you can think of any humorous comments about the following picture then please email me here and I will try to use the best ones.

From Paul Bricklebank ...
Brian Hallett thinking "Stupid old fool how am I meant to get past him to get drinks at the best of times? but when he's asleep it's impossible"

"Brian White has finally succumed to sleep after talking so much to Darren Martin about the LNER TPO!"

"Brian White dreams of the day when the The Travelling Post Office finally get the Mk1 TPO's and he can sleep in the brake coach!"

From David Jackson ...
"A glimpse of real TPO work"

"Has anyone done a risk assessment for other passengers passing"

From Ian Watson ...
"David Attleborough's "The Life of the BrownCoat", Episode 3.
It is winter and our hidden camera is secreted in the BrownCoats' hibernation den. One of the younger males is disturbed, but the dominant male (or 'Bulldozer') remains dormant. Soon Spring will arrive and the colony's thoughts will turn to reproduction..."

"Another member of the TPO crew contract Peter Jackson's sleeping sickness"

"He looks dead tired, I hope he's not 'snuffed' it"

From Robert Maskill ...
The lengths Brian will go to just to avoid going to buy refreshments.

I am not smiling until Brian stops snoring...
